a fairground life

At the risk of tempting fate, things have started off quite good. The last couple of days at the mall have seen an improvement on last year. The weather was bad during this period year on year. Meanwhile in the SECC the DZ is working more reliable than ever.The warm, dry, indoor climate with town power obviously agrees with its over elaborated, delicately sensitive, electronic plumbing! We did give it a good going over before hand though and I have reached the conclusion that because it is riding to capacity most cycles, this means the carriage is balanced & heavy thus minimising vibration on the electronic brush contacts running gear. Obviously less vibration means less wear and tear. My theory any how and time will tell how long before we have to replace a brush. That said, it has been a bit slower in the secc than I expected, we are still riding almost full, but with short periods between cycles. No doubt the calm before the storm. Not much to report up here (Blakey has a tale to tell though), however I heard of a large fire on showmen's premises in the North of England resulting in the loss of amounts of equipment,vehicles, tools etc  that were all stored in large sheds. 

Be careful with those fairy lights folks and have A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

P.S tip of the week- always carry a spare fuel filter!!!
